please help lilliput 701

purchased my lilliput 701 a couple weeks ago, and i made the mistake of plugging it in while there was power to the cable. I think it might have fried something. There is nothing obvious that is burnt or n e thing that i see. Does anyone possible no what goes bad if something was shorted? it just has solid blue lights on the switch panel. Im going crazy here. thanks

From what I have read in the forum, Lilliputs are very sensative about thier polarity. You may have accidently switched it, if yes, then the screen is dead.

well does anyone possibly know if there is anywhere in the world to buy a replacement mainboard for these lilli-butt screens? cant just give up yet i dont wana buy another screen......that makes for a very expensive setup having to buy two screens........thanks

Is the screen apart? Maybe you can get brand info off the board. I know the display its self usually has a name brand on it.

So how does this happen?

By connecting the pos and neg to the incorrect wires while it is plugged in?

i never really reversed polarity, i plugged the power adapter cord into the screen while the cord had power. I guess the way it is made it just managed to slightly arc. I would advise anyone to hook up the cord and then put in the fuse to complete the circuit. This really should not have caused problems. still looking for a mainboard if anyone knows where i can get one......

I'm not sure how I managed to fry mine but this is what burnt out for me.
I'm pretty ****ed about it but I don't know what the component used to be.
I would also like to know where I could get a replacement board.

It may not have been you at all. I notice that the 701 runs very warm and if in a closed area they run very very hot. I installed mine into a sunvisor case (check out my worklog link) and even though there are ventillation holes on the Lilli and Visors, it still gets raging hot. I am now thinking of installing a fan system that pulls are in and out of the case.
